WASHINGTON, June 7.-Ex-C Confederate
General d. ii. Hill of Georgia, in his address
in Baltimore last night, at the Confederate
memorial meeting. paid his respects to the
Democrats of thel North in a way which
may not be forgotten. He said, mo official
from the old South was ever charged with

for the long list of Democratic defalcations
before the war the Northern Democrats were

as a club in the West to force the Pennsyl-

sheridan on the National Drill.

General Sheridan has said that he consid-
ers the late national drill national blessing
insomuch that he will in his report to Con-
gress recommend that an annual national
drill in this city should be conducted at the
expense of the government, as he thinks it
would be powerful agent in stimulating
the citizen soldiers in every State to main
tain perfect organization and be ready to
serve the State or country in time of need,
and so would more than repay the cost of
the annual encampment. Another regular
army officer who was on duty at the camp
during the late drill has said that he thinks
one great good it accomplished was the
bringing of the militia from the farthest
removed sections of our country together In
a way nothing else could do. Texas and
Maine drilled together, and the influence of
this is to break down sectional prejudices.
To bring all the militia to the national cap
ital tends to make them recognize the gen.
eral government as having stronger claim
upon them in time of strife than their own
States have,

A Wonder of the Age.

Ralph Bingham, the boy orator, who
will appear here at the Masonic Opera
House on Friday and Saturday nights,
February 18th and 18th, for the benefit of
the Independent Fire Company of our
city, is one of the greatest living wonders
of the age, and no one should fail to see
him. Master Ralph was born December
end, 1870, in Virginia, of American par
entage. He resided in the city of Rich
mand, with his parents until May, 1879,
and attended the public school there for
two terms, advancing in his studies with
almost alarming rapidity, retaining in his
memory every thing he heard or saw, and
reproducing il with phenomenal mimic eff
feet. He excited the curiosity and interest
of his teachers, puzzledthe minds of those
who had madesthe anatomy of the brain
their constant study, presenting to them a
curious and perplexing anomaly without
intelligent solution.

YlrRInIns.

The celebrated Louis James. the most
versatile actor Of the American stage,
and his support. the talented Miss Marie
Wainwright, produced ''Virginius," a
thrilling tragedy. last night at the Opera
House before one Of the largest and most
appreciatiye audiences ever assembled in
this city. The reproduction Of the early
history of Rome. about 451 b. c., during
the reign of the Decemyirate, served to
refresh and instruct the minds of the
lovers of history and tradition. The de-
nOuemcnt-unlike that Of the average
drama. which is marry and be happy
ever after"-was the Staying of Virginia
by her father, who, to save her honor, re
sorted to this end. and thus the tyranny
of the decemviri like that of the TarQuin
in previous history of Rome, was over
thrown by the virtue of Roman female.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers. as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with
Green's august FIOscer and B0schee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-ffth
more medicine in the rs cent size. The
august FLOWer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup fol-
Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of Increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottle for 10 cents remain the same
size.
